The clouds on the horizon were pressed by the darkness, and Xie Yan gathered the fox fur that belonged to Zhou Jin on his body and galloped in the forest.

Thinking of the meeting that she had only met because of the flow of her thoughts, a slight smile appeared on her lips.

has lived for twenty-one years and served in the army for eight years, which is the first time in her life that she has been so willful for herself.

The clothes under the fox fur were crumpled, and there was a fork in the road in front of him, Xie Yangui pulled the reward and motioned for the frightening feather to change the route.

The topographical map of the entire southern Qiannan was in her mind, and she knew that it was not far from Qianxian, and further ahead was Raocheng.

Before Xie Yangui left the border pass, she had carefully estimated Zhou Jin's location, and she knew that she could pass through the territory of Qianxian and Raocheng back and forth.

It just so happens that now she wants to change her clothes, so she can stop by and have a look.

Jing Yu called out twice and led her towards Qianxian.

In the entire Qiannan, only the border pass has the worst days, which is Xie Yangui's biggest feeling from entering Qiannan to arriving at the border pass.

I still think so.

The border pass is no better than other places, and the former guard is Shen Huaiyi, who can be regarded as the most upright person in the entire Shen family.

He only has how to defend his home and country and protect Qiannan well, unlike others, there are many twists and turns.

Today's guard is Xie Yangui, and she is different from Shen Huai.

In addition to wanting to protect Qiannan so that the enemy can't get close to the lights of the ten thousand homes behind her, she will also try to find a good way for the people and soldiers in the land under her jurisdiction to live.

Qianxian County is not big, there is only one cloth village, Xie Yan went to pick up ready-to-wear clothes, and after changing them, he walked around the county. new

The officers and men stationed in Qianxian County did not look much better than those in the border passes, and their discipline was obviously a little lax compared to the soldiers in the border passes.

It is said that there are no weak soldiers under the strong generals, and the person in charge of this place is Shen Zhou, he is really not very good as a general, so naturally there is no restraint on the soldiers under him.

Moreover, even if Qianxian can produce silver, it will not enter the hands of the soldiers, but the military salaries in their hands are still remembered.

They don't get much military pay and don't have enough to eat, so it's already good that they don't rebel.

The current Qianxian County doesn't look special, after all, Shen Zhou is not here, and those who can make money from it have to collect some.

Since they all came to Qianxian, Xie Yangui and Jing Yu went to Raocheng again.

Thanks to her disguise in advance, she didn't collide with Shen Huaijing here.

In addition to Shen Huaijing, Xie Yan also saw the guards beside Shen Huaiyi, which shows that he doesn't trust his younger brother so much.

Muttering in a low voice, and buying some more things from Raocheng, Xie Yangui returned to the path with Jing Yu, and continued to gallop back towards the border pass.

According to the footsteps of Jing Yu, he will be able to return to the border pass by tomorrow evening at the latest.

Xie Yan estimated that the scouts who went to investigate outside the city should return to the city one after another.

When she goes back, she doesn't rush to show her face, she wants to hide in the shadows and see what happens?

On the day Xie Yangui left the border gate, he did not deliberately cover it up, but after leaving the border pass, except for Ling Yuwei, who had been following her, no one could know her whereabouts.

She believed that by taking this opportunity, Shen Zhou, who stayed in the border city, would definitely make a move.

As Xie Yangui expected, the scouts who went outside the city were returning from outside the city one after another.

Every scout who returned to the city would go to Xie Yangui's residence to report to him, and tell everything in detail to the Ji Zheng who was in charge of the matter.

Although Xie Yangui is not in the residence, there is a book, and everything can be in order.

Ever since scouts had returned from outside the city, she had the kitchen prepare extra meals.

In this way, the scouts who came to return to their lives could eat a full meal immediately after returning from exhaustion, and then go back to rest.

Ah Jiu and Ah Shi just came back from outside the city, and they were worried about their sister Ah Hua at home, so when they came to return to life, they spoke and did things very quickly.

After the two of them finished their return with Ji Zheng, they walked towards the outside of the house together, and were stopped by Yushu.

It just so happened that Ah Hua was weaving clothes for Xie Yangui in the house.

Knowing that Ah Hua was there, Ah Jiu and Ah Shi glanced at each other, and they were both a little surprised.

"Because of the military situation, I have to let you go out of the city before the Chinese New Year, so that you can't be reunited with your family. On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the general specially ordered that your family members be invited to the mansion so that they would not be lonely at home."

"When I was chatting with Ah Hua, the general learned that she was very popular, so he asked her to help weave and mend clothes, but he shared a lot of burdens for me!" Yu Shu said with a smile to the brothers.

When Xie Yangui was not at his residence, the matter of teaching Ah Hua to write fell on the head of Yu Shu.

Although Ah Hua stutters a little, she is extremely intelligent and can already write a few words.

"Let's go, I'll take you to her." Waving to the brothers, Yushu led them to a room specially prepared for Ah Hua.

Ah Hua didn't know that her brothers had returned, and they were concentrating on knitting clothes.

"Ah Hua," Yu Shu said to her as he entered the house, "Ah Jiu and Ah Shi are back, you should go home early today."

Hearing the voice, Ah Hua raised her head and saw the person standing at the door, and immediately showed surprise.

With the last stitch in her hand ready, she cut the thread, folded it carefully, and placed it on top of the neatly arranged pile of clothes beside her.

After Ah Hua and Ah Jiu left with Ash, Yu Shu stepped forward to pick up her mended clothes.

She noticed that a small goose was embroidered on the hem of each garment.

Yushu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

——

After separating from Xie Yangui, Zhou Jin returned to the carriage with her cloak.

After a long delay, he gave an order, let the carriage speed up, and headed towards the checkpoint entering the territory of Qiannan.

"Chang Xiu, you have people go and check the hexagram gate, and you must be cautious enough in this matter, if there is really a hexagram gate, it must not cause any trouble."

Zhou Jin has also learned the Five Elements Bagua and Qimen Formation, but he has never dabbled in divination and the like, nor has he ever heard of Hexagram.

But since Xie Yangui saw it from the manuscript left by Mrs. Xie, it means that the hexagram door must exist, but it is hidden enough.

Zhou Jin asked Chang Xiu to check the hexagram gate, just hoping to get more news related to Mrs. Xie.

Although Xie Yangui didn't say it, he knew that she cared in her heart.

"In addition, send an order to Zhuangzi, so that they are always ready, and maybe one day, your master mother will be able to use it."

The news that Zhou Jin got about Liaobei is now only one accurate, that is, General Hu sent someone to see Xie Yangui and gave her Mrs. Xie's manuscript.

What the other news will fall on, Zhou Jing does not know.

If it was really something related to that year, Xie Yangui would face a choice.

Zhou Jin knew in his heart that in terms of grievances and righteousness, Xie Yangui would definitely choose righteousness.

As long as she is in southern Qiannan, the Rongdi people will never want to set foot in the border pass of southern Qiannan and get involved in the land of Dajing.

This is the backbone of her Xie Yangui.

But when this battle is over, she still has to have a choice after all.

What the situation would be at that time, no one could be sure, Zhou Jin was used to leaving a way back for Xie Yangui.
